How to move letters for welding

Post by craftedge »

There are a few ways to move letters within text so that they overlap for welding.
Below are 3 different ways to change the positioning of the letters with the text.

1. Choose the Selection Tool (black arrow icon) from the Tools window. Click on the text to select it on the mat. Then go to the Object menu and choose Ungroup. You can then move the individual letters around wherever you wish.

2. Choose the Selection Tool (black arrow icon) from the Tools window. Click on the text to select it on the mat. In the Properties window, you should see a Text section. In the Text section, change the Tracking field, which will alter the spacing between each letter. Decreasing the value will bring the letters closer together.

3. Choose the Type Tool (captial T icon) from the Tools window. Click and drag over the letters you wish to change. The letters should be hilited now. In the Text section in the Properties window, you can change the Tracking field to adjust the letter spacing for the hilited letters.
